Description

In October 2000, the American Concrete Institute’s Technical Activities Committee approved publication of a commemorative compilation honoring Bryant Mather for his significant contributions to concrete technology. This publication, Investigating Concrete—Selected Works of Bryant and Katharine Mather, is the result of a cooperative effort by Mather, Celik Ozyildirim, and ACI Chief Engineer Shuaib Ahmad.

It is divided into seven parts: potential of concrete; cementitious materials; aggregates; durability of concrete; petrographic examination of aggregates and concrete; specifications for use of concrete in transportation structures; and research and emerging technologies. This publication also includes an appendix with a bibliography of selected works of Bryant and Katharine Mather
